This Week’s Instagram

Once a week I will show one of my photos captured and/or processed with Instagram over the last week. It’s a way for me to show photography that usually is quite different from my regular work. The pictures are displayed without any comments, hoping they will stand on their own. But I still very much appreciate any comments you may have.

A pure red sometimes seems strident to me, and less interesting. But the dark tones here, and the striations in the blooms, add so much — it as though a film noir director has taken on the flower fields.

Love the colour and drops. Have you tried taking photos of flowers under water? Secure them so they are submerged and bubbles will form all over them, then you shoot through the glass of the vase.i took a workshop on this and it was fun.

Hi Melissa. I know photograph make a living out of Instagram. But I am not one of them. I use it for fun and for making different kinds of pictures than my usual work. So I am sorry not to be able to give you an adequately answer.
